Christmas Gift Guide.

There’s a reason why sass & bide’s tribal-inspired pieces are some of the most sought after on the market: they have an authenticity that coagulates from the contrary mix of hard attitude and soft luxury. The girl who loves her sass & bide loves to be effortless yet fierce; and, independent she may be, she’ll never say no to finding a little piece of the brand underneath her Christmas tree.

The label’s Organised Chaos Cuff is a near foolproof option. It has just enough detail to be a stand-out piece, but it’s classic enough to suit almost anyone – making it a key contender for a winning place in any curated wardrobe.

The aesthetic.

The beauty of a cuff like this one is that it can be roughed down or classed up, paired with the everyday comfort of cotton and denim or with the nighttime elegance of raw silk. It’s also transseasonal, the kind of piece you can thrown on easily with the dark colours and heavy textures of winter or with rich bright hues and tribal prints in spring.

The finer details.

Handmade in Bali, each cuff involves the work of two craftsman: one who makes its genuine woven leather band, and one who casts the brass with resin inlay for the clasp. Referencing an authentic tribal aesthetic, the clasp has a primitive simplicity – a brass hook that slips into the leather band to secure the cuff on one’s wrist.

The cuff comes from a limited run of 100 pieces, keeping an element of exclusivity.
